Roasted Red Pepper + Pinto Bean Dip

Posted Feb 13 2013 2:26pm

If you were paying attention to my last post , I mentioned that The Smart Kitchen build-your-own sandwich shop I set up at Whole Foods on Monday night featured not one, but two sandwich spreads (or, as I like to think of them, spreadable dips*).

*I don’t make a lot of sandwiches. But I do like to dip. [When I dip, you dip, we dip...]

Although the Raw Kale, Artichoke, and Cannelini Spreadwas good … … I actually loved the second, even easier creation even more.
Just as I still had walnuts on my tastebuds, I obviously was still craving roasted red peppers. This Roasted Red Pepper + Pinto Bean Dip is as simple as emptying a can of pintos in a food processor with the roasted peppers, a handful of cilantro, nutritional yeast, and Mexican spices. It’s slightly spicy and oh-so pretty. And it also looks like a sunset when you pair it with roasted winter squash. Roasted Red Pepper + Pinto Bean Dip[Makes 1 1/2 cups]
